As long as you don't take a book that is being held for someone else you
are not poaching. By the way, there is at least one, maybe more, books with
the words hold for reader 1 or reader something els. Those are a legacy of a
problem a while back in which a certain two people were downloading books and
then uploading them within about five minutes without bothering to actually
proofread them. The hold for notice was put there to protect the books from
them. Those holds are freely available for you to take.

Hi, Bob, thanks for giving me your take on this. I don't wish to poach on
anyone's wishes to proofread a certain book. I'd like to work in tandem
with
the submitter of a book so I can be sure of doing a good job. That was my
main concern. Regards, Kim aka Ellinder.

Hi Kim.
You said, "By the by, I've noticed a couple of books submitted by Roger
Drewicke. Do I contact him or just grab a file?"
I'm not sure what you mean, if you are wondering whether you should contact
a scanning type person before proofing their book, I'd say "No way". Just
grab it and proof it. If I have an email address for the scannor I'll email
them during proofing if I have questions, or once I've submitted the book,
just to let them know that it was a pleasure proofing their book. My
philosophy is: I don't scan because I'm such a lousy scannor, so I
proofread
other peoples scans, and I am very greatful for their efforts. If I notice
something that could improve a person's scan I'll let them know nicely.
Just my take on this.
Bob
